I told them to shop, but due to the scarcity of the car, I also warned them what could ( and did ) happen.

What a waste of everyone's time. They never did get an Audi.

Are Audi buyers/owners uniquely cheap, tight-asses? - Finman 2001-08-10 10:22:06 (622 views)

This is more typical of all buyers then you may realize. - dzier 2001-08-10 20:58:48 (145 views)

Personally, I don't feel like a uniquely cheap, tight-ass....not spending 40K on a car anyway! - A6 Top Cat 2001-08-10 18:20:37 (119 views)

A "Big Spender" can drop $500 on dinner, but still be a tight-ass if he leaves a $10 tip... - Finman 2001-08-11 11:54:17 (89 views)

I agree...but it's easy to get caught up in it with the info available on the web - Metz 2001-08-10 17:25:50 (107 views)

Re: Audi makes over 10k profit per car! - srleo 2001-08-10 16:44:53 (153 views)

Where do these figures come from??? Even Ford "only" makes $6-8k on its SUVs... - Finman 2001-08-11 00:30:08 (142 views)

Audi might, but dealers don't ! Open a dealership and then try negotiating with AoA or VAG - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 17:00:22 (168 views)

Please explain. Don't think dealer makes 10K on sale. Sale plus maintenance? AoA? How? - timcar 2001-08-10 16:54:55 (122 views)

Not the dealer, but AOA - srleo 2001-08-10 16:59:47 (77 views)

I agree with you Finman. Crossed the street from the BMW to the Audi, met Ernst @ Audi Diablo - Ernesto (ERT) 2001-08-10 15:55:16 (277 views)

Sure you don't want paint protectant and scotchgaurd ? It's only another $25 a month ! ;-) - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 14:05:44 (120 views)

Yes, Scotchguard please! There's no way I could possibly do that myself :) - phred 2001-08-10 14:25:02 (97 views)

Yeah, the internet helps. Rarely do people walk in wanting a 10% discount on a car with 6% mark-up. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 16:05:48 (120 views)

They are cheap, but not as cheap as some. Take Volvo. - April/verdegrrl 2001-08-10 11:32:44 (237 views)

Not cheap, just appreciate value (More) - Definitely an A6 4.2! 2001-08-10 23:04:19 (122 views)

Nope, I think in today's world every buyer is like this - phred 2001-08-10 10:31:30 (210 views)

Yeah, I agree, it's just the dicking around for a couple hundred bucks seems lame - Finman 2001-08-10 13:10:53 (93 views)
